power of now

I got a chance to interact with a person who was spiritually inclined and was intellectual, I utilized the opportunity to clarify certain of my doubts. For which i may have known the answers but only a healthy conversation could have helped them out.

I am sure most of us experience certain voice when we are alone and thinking of something, or mostly when we are confused to take certain decision in life. The conflict between right or wrong, positive or negative keeps us engaged and we fail to understand what to follow.

We have often found ourselves stuck in a situation where we realize that we have a conflict between heart and mind, then how do we recognize our inner voice? which voice do we listen too?

Then is when this person help me identify my inner voice, the voice that you here within when your mind is at rest and they are no thoughts running in it, is the INNER VOICE.

my next question was exactly what you are thinking about, but how do we free our mind from thought?

and the answer is by living in now, its only when you life in now and this moment that your mind is in peace, PAST and FUTURE are just ILLUSION you cant life them, its only the present that exists, and we need to live in NOW to understand the power of NOW.

You dont really have to learn how to mediatate to experience this, all you need to do is live the act that you most enjoy, be it writing, playing musical instruments or painting, or be it enjoying nature. The moment which makes you feel complete in self and raises no desire in you is the moment saints talk about and that is the feeling of being complete and feeling content with what you have.
